This was an "Okay" movie. It wasn't too funny. More silly. But it wasn't the hysterical comedy that some reviews promised. One of the saving graces is that most of the characters weren't bad. If you met them in real life you probably wouldn't want to hang around with any of them. The story was just enough to carry it through. I'd imagine most people would consider this a 2.5 to 3 star movie out of 5 stars. It's to watch when there's nothing else you've been wanting to see.

Just watched this movie last night and I must say that it was pretty hilarious, but in your typical, over-the-top Happy Madison type of way. If you are a fan of Grandma's Boy, Happy Gilmore, or any Happy Maddison picture then you should without a doubt be a fan of this movie. Stange Wilderness has absolutely no plot whatsoever and non-Happy Madison fans will most likely not find it very amusing, as the jokes and humor are slapstick and completely gross-out and most have nothing to do with the intended plot, but are just there to add comedy to it. I definitely would recommend renting this movie first, unless you can find it for fairly cheap to add it to your collection. The comedy of the movie comes from all of the characters, there isn't one person who steals the show. It is also a really short movie, by the time the credits rolled it was about 1hr and 17mins., so if you need a movie to just kick back for some very good laughs and let your brain take a rest then look no further.Read full review
This movie extremely disappointed me! I remember watching the trailer months prior to its release, so I was pretty excited for it. I really enjoy most of the Happy Madison films, but this one was a complete bummer! I love Jonah Hill and Steve Zahn is just as good. Not to mention the cast of characters that usually appear in these films, specifically Allen Covert of Grandma's Boy. I really loved that movie, so I then put faith that this one would be somewhat comparable, but quite the contrary. I mean there was some funny and sometimes hilarious parts, but it was just a stretch. They tried way too hard for laughs and some of the time they did succeed, but fell short quite numerously! Jonah Hill's character got few lines, but when he did, they were fairly funny. I did enjoy Justin Long as he is coming into his own as an actor. Kevin Heffernan didn't get nearly enough funny lines or the proper camera time he deserved, I mean he's Farva for the love of god, the man is funny. With all this being said, wait for the DVD. Poor plot, great actors, but wrongly used their talents! Severely disappointed in this film.....I even went opening night I was so excited.....stupid film.....not even a stoner flick at best and trust me I love stoner flicks!Read full review
Strange Wilderness is an absolutely hilarious comedy that was released in theaters last year. It wasn't a huge hit while in theaters, not a whole lot was spent on promoting the movie leading most people to say, "what's that?" if you mention Strange Wilderness. I dragged my girlfriend and a number of skeptical couples to see the movie with me on opening night and they went from being unsure of whether or not it was worth spending $10.00 to bringing other friends the following weekend and spending double the money to see Strange Wilderness for a second time. After striking up a conversation with a friend recently the title came up once again and I immediately jumped on eBay to purchase this must have. A couple days later I received my copy and had a few friends over to watch it. The movie ended with a room full of laughter. One of my friends is a very avid movie watcher and at the end of the movie said, "wow, I haven't laughed that hard at a movie in years." Everyone else agreed. All in all, Strange Wilderness is full of hilarious, original comedy that will have you on the floor laughing. You won't regret spending a few bucks on this comedy!Read full review
I wouldn't know if it's any good considering the movie I got in the case was Cheech and Chongs still smokin.
